Hm, haven't been on here in awhile...

Wow.

Congrats to the Mavs, they played great and with some actual heart.
Very disappointing end to the season, although I hope Kobe can still find a way to get another ring.

Also, I have no idea what is wrong with Pau. If we can land Dwight next year, at this point I say keep Bynum instead of Pau.

God dammit man.

I don't know. I just can't believe the mavs will beat us. Like against all logic, history, and any sort of realism, I just can't believe we lose to the mavs.

This will be the greatest playoff run ever if we win. Although chances are still low, I still have some faith.

****.

For reals man!

I am pumped, but I feel like every year the Lakers always have some obstacle they have to overcome.
For example:

2008: Could they play as a team?
2009: Could they overcome their "softness"/just win it all in general
2010: Heavy injuries to Kobe and Andrew. Also, could they beat Boston?
2011: Injuries, bad seeding against contenders, and SEVERE mental lapses.

I honestly hope we get Chicago if we come out of the west, apparently it'll make a good story for Phil (beat the team he won his first six with), but mostly because they are probably our best matchup out of the east. Miami scares me too, but only because we would basically be playing 5 on 8 the whole series.

Happy birthday Billiam.

Your threads are awesome btw.

His name is Adrian Peterson. He is a running back for the Minnesota Vikings, and currently my favorite football player. Although, my overall favorite athlete is Kobe Bryant.

I agree with the bowl of gold things, I just think the way they Made the gold stand out so much, it looked kind of like the animators from Eldorado did it.
Nice to meet you Bill,
I have seen you around here quite a bit, Who is the man in the picture on your profile?
I am not a viewer of Football, I grew up without Television, so I was never really introduced to it.

haha It's looks like something from The Road to El Dorado, with it's highlight on the color yellow,
Thank by the way
Im maverick, Just thought It was rude I did not introduce myself before asking you something

What is your avatar from? I can not place it

I rank my bones over unpleasant smells, personally. But the obsessive researching habit is a good one. I know what you mean. I recently started running barefoot and it was incredibly difficult to hold myself back. I haven't ran in forever (saving my joints haha) and I just wanted to hit top speed immediately.

Yeah, my buddy didn't ease into it and fractured his sesamoids. I'd hate for that to happen to anyone else.

Unless you've been running barefoot prior to getting these, remember to start off slowly and preferably not on concrete. You need to get your feet used to the added stress of barefoot/near-barefoot running before you bump up the distance.

Just trying to look out haha.

Seriously man.
I'm just afraid they might have turned it on a little "too early", because I KNOW without a doubt they can beat any time with the correct mindset (check the SA game and Boston game), but I want them to start peaking around playoffs.

I mean last year they didn't even play well until the second round, but then Kobe was hurt and the OKC ft disparity was ridiculous.

Dude, fantastic day. Lakers KILL the spurs, Heat emotionally breaking down, Z-Bo with his shot over the Mavs. Only if Boston loses will today be epic.

Haha, and yeah man, that was some good detective work, I post on there from time to time.

If the combat offers challenge, and the environments are as open as they look, then I think that will overshadow some gimmicky puzzles and the graphics.

I wish the trailer showed more. I'm more excited than before, but it still is a big "?" to me.

Who knows. The music used in the ST trailer ended up in the final game.

I didn't like the puzzles I saw. They seem too disconnected from the rest of the gameplay. To be honest, I'd be fine with just pushing blocks if that meant we'd get a faster-based Zelda game. The recent Zelda games are too slow. At least the combat looks like a huge focus, and the environments are open yet dense.

NeoGAF is annoying me. Everyone can have their own opinions, but they pretty much attack anyone who says they perfer OoT 3D's graphics over SS. For an artstyle so cartoony, you'd expect the colors to be more saturated and fun.

The music is getting a lot of complaints. It's not amazing, but it does have an interesting vibe to it. It's Midi. Hope that changes.

SS is looking nice. I'm impressed by the content in the environments. Looks much more compact, like the 2D Zelda games.

Music is nice. Enemy designs look great. Action and puzzles look fun. Still don't like the color palet, but whatever. I'm glad Nintendo showed a lot of new content with this trailer.

Just like old times, my friend. Debating Zelda is fun again!
